Four assigned to Greenville, nine cut from Connecticut

Connecticut is trimming its roster in preparation for their season opener this Friday, and that included trimming the roster by 13 players. Four players will skate for the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL, while nine were cut and released from their training camp tryouts.

With this many skaters, it is expected that the Whale will have one more round of roster cuts before the final roster is set for Friday. Expect at least one goaltender, one defenseman, and two forwards to be cut from the Whale and sent to Greenville.

It’s worth noting that J.T. Miller is still with the club after a strong preseason. Miller was the only player that the Rangers had the option of returning to his CHL team (Plymouth Whalers of the OHL). With his strong play, it’s expected that Miller will at least begin the season with the Whale in the AHL.
